Good example. I was at Nordstrom's looking for some strappy-ass sandals for a party, and was in all my leather. Not one sales person offered to help. They only assistance I got was when I walked up to the counter to ask for a sandal in my size. The sales people even disappeared when I was ready to be rung up and I had to go to a different department. I laugh now, but I was really upset at the time.<BR/><BR/>I also love to mess with people when they try to cut me off, or merge into me. I will get in front of them and settle into a comfortable cruising speed of, oh say, 40 mhp on the freeway.

It's like they're tickled pink to be serving me. I was amazed the first time it happened. I just did the usual smile, please and thank you's and I usually get better service.<br /><br />When I go to the same store dressed in my street clothes and same smile, they don't even notice me, lol.<br />Betty :)Biker Bettyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17994597212491993059noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13520267.post-60233800699193920922007-02-03T23:00:00.000-06:002007-02-03T23:00:00.000-06:00While I don't wear leather, I get similar reaction...While I don't wear leather, I get similar reactions, especially if I let a few days go by between shaves. My wife says I look pretty damn scary when I'm pissed-off, too. Whenever folks at work get too difficult, she threatens to call me in and they change their tune. <br />JohnCombatscoothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01071295308408784447noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13520267.post-66878598402524694322007-02-03T16:15:00.000-06:002007-02-03T16:15:00.000-06:00At only 5'9", I still know exactly what you mean. ...At only 5'9", I still know exactly what you mean. I was called into the VP's office at work one time and asked to try to project a "friendlier" image around work. <br /><br />Dressing all in black, all the time, was going to endanger my job security. <br /><br />The worst part was having the crusty old machinist at work tell me that some of the guys thought I looked like a serial killer! <br /><br />Shit! I'll have you know that I have never harmed a box of Wheaties or Cheerios in my life! <br /><br />Damned profilin'... <br /><br />Ride well,<br /> =gc=Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
